Reactor - Energy Sector Tycoon

It's a good game, although there are some small grievances I have with it: First off, progression takes too long, and the small starter island gets clogged up quick. Simply reducing the time it takes to get dynamite and axes would solve this issue in my opinion. Next up is the button layout, I think that the sell button should be smaller and the little popups should go beneath the build and upgrade buttons, just to keep it cleaner. Finally, it gets boring at times. That's all! Good game.

Very time consuming. I saw an ad for it and tried it. I like it for the most part,but there are a few things that can improve. For example, the way the upgrades are price(one upgrade could be 7mil then be 20mil the next), or the clearing of the rocks and trees (having no storage for the TNT and axes), and the research (how much it is to unlock each item). Other than that I would recommend this game if you want to find a way to consume time and be distracted from reality.

Extremely addicting and fun, however lacks a lot of polish. Ads sometimes make it so you can't access menus, menus sometimes are outside of the screen and you can't get to them, and text sometimes is off the screen. If you can look past some minor things like that it's fun. Another thing that is frustrating is that the leaderboard has a score limit so me and 1000 other people are tied for first. The difficulty curve isn't very constant, it is REALLY hard to unlock the next things sometimes.

Its fun, takes time to get good and started into it but still effective in progress. There is an ad ribbon at bottom but, me personally, I don't mind it. Only things I think is wrong with it is: - $6.99 is really steep for buying an extra area. Especially when buying early access to other area is only $0.99 and $1.99. - 4 hits to remove a tree or rock is quite intense. Especially when you dont start with even 1 or 2 and max is 4 and you have to wait 1 hour for 1. That about covers it.

I REALLY LIKE IT! It is fun, first being slow paced to help anyone understand the game itself. Then it has that prestige that lets you restart with (everything but pirchased items is undone) profits multiplied by four! Though it would be nice if you bought resources to get rid of obstacles, yes that is already there, but you get all those resources back everytime you prestige so it isn't a one-game use.

Very good concept for a game. I would rate it 5 stars if it weren't for 2 things. The first of which being the slow grinding that doesn't improve for a while. There is a point that you get stuck with a very limited ability to sell and it becomes a very big bottleneck on production. Even with converting a majority of your land to corporations you still don't have the necessary cash flow to make the gameplay smooth. The second problem is the excessive amount of ways that the game tries to montize itself. Nearly every possible aspect of the game has a way that you can spend real money to skip through the game (research points, every single island, trees and mountains on the islands, and stat boosts just to name a few). Besides those negative aspects the game is very unique. Not many other games of it's genre perform quite as well as this one. Also the artwork is colorful and charming. The game is overall very good but just needs a tweak in the mechanics so that the player doesn't very that spending money is vital for the game to be enjoyable.

A shadow of the once great Kongregate game. Which had complex interactions between diverse elements that made this as much of a puzzle and strategy game as it was an idle/casual game. This version is plagued with intrusive ads every minute or so, plus banner ads plus tons and tons of pay to win. No complex interactions, just your typical linear progression idle game. Really a shame. Still a cut above alot of the junk out there these days, but the original was so much better.

A phenomenal game for what it is. A base level, simple tycoon-style game that still requires occasional fast thinking, patience, and a sense of balance. While they are featured, you are not bombarded with ads like you are in other games that may be viewed as similar. All in all, I am a huge fan of this game and would absolutely reccomend it to a friend.

This is a decent, stripped-down version of a browser game called Reactor Idle. No idea if this is "stolen" or not. The ads are not intrusive anymore. The fact that I can't buy the biggest island without real money is a bummer. If you want the real experience, play the browser game. Other than those gripes, I think it's okay. Would love to see more features from the browser game added in as well as larger landmasses.

The game is fun overall, but after a few hours of playing, the game starts forcing ads. I'm fine with ads being in the game, especially when it comes to speeding up waiting times like the axe and TNT features. In fact, I watched a lot of them for that purpose. But forcing ads onto me is one of the things I cannot tolerate. I am uninstalling the game.

This game use be awesome no pop-up ads with plenty of options to watch them(which I did. Free progress why not.) Now there are pop-up ads which I despise. I would assume that after I paid 6 bucks to unlock something I would have the privilege to not have pop up ads. Nope. There are needs to be a option to replace all of a certain generator or reactor. Clicking over 120 different different generators trying to upgrade them without deleting anything else is very time consuming. Overall good game.

I have 2 things that I think would make this game way better, the first is that clearing out the mountains and trees should stay post-rebirth so that I can actually clear out stuff and I also think that there should be a quick replace or quick upgrade that allows you to switch out all your office buildings for the new one you just researched and don't want to spend the next 5 minutes replacing. I think those two things would make this game go from great to amazing.

Pretty good.. i like being able to watch ads to get bonuses, but could do without the automated ads when exitting out of the shop menus.. Having ads that reward you for putting up with them is pretty nice and keeps things more..."consensual". But having them forced on you for performing an action you do constantly in the game is a real bummer.

Recently reinstalled... I am appalled at the frequent forced 'sponsor' and ads. I've had them interrupt my attempts at building. WAS an ok idle game, though there are several improvements I think should be made: allow TNT and axes to accumulate up to 4 instead of only 1 while the game is off; add the ability to replace buildings instead of having to destroy and then go build; and add a warning if an upgrade is going to blow up all of your generators because the heat gets too high instantly.

It's a direct rip from reactor idle on kongregate but it's worse. Yes the ads are aggressive but you can just use airplane mode. Lots of QOL improvements to be made. The amount of times I accidentally click a boulder or tree and that box just sits there distracting me until I can click the tiny "x." If you want to get rid of boulders or trees you have to watch 4 ads or wait 4 hours! This is not how you slow down the gameplay. Rated 2 stars because I liked the original and the concept is cool

I had alot of fun playing this game. I feel like prices are awful high, especially for axes and TNT, especially when the removals aren't permanent. I've hit a point where, with one windmill & one small research station I restart every 30 seconds. The other problem is how the darn thing counts. Skipping letters, or repeating "AS" back to back, or turning into "A?" Instead of cycling over to "BA" etc. It just stops adding placeholders and the amounts are so large the font shrinks & I can't read it

I played the game for three days. Once I got past the gas power plant my money kept disappearing after I got over 10 million. Would not recommend purchasing. Also removing obstacles (trees and mountains) takes 4 hours. You get one free every hour and you need 4 to remove one obstacle fully. Since the free obstacle removers can only be stored one at a time, if you don't check back every hour it can take a long time to remove anything. I played for three days and removed 2 obstacles.
